SHIP BUILDERS

PIPE FITTERS

What Is Mesothelioma?

Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive type of cancer affecting almost 3,000 people each year in the United States. This type of cancer goes after the mesothelium, the tissue which lines the lungs and heart in addition to other vital internal organs.

The primary cause of Mesothelioma is inhaling or swallowing asbestos. According to the National Institutes of Health approximately 11 million people were exposed to Asbestos between 1940 and 1978. It can take 20 years or longer for the exposure to manifest into a health condition. Once mesothelioma has been diagnosed, it is almost always lethal within just a few years. Even with proper and prompt medical treatment, 10% of individuals diagnosed with and treated for mesothelioma live longer than 5 years.

Malignant mesothelioma targets the protective lining in your lungs, abdomen, heart, and testicles. Asbestos fibers irritate the mesothelial cells which then causes scarring and cell damage which eventually lead to cancerous mutations in the mesothelial cells. Asbestos fibers also cause the production of oncoproteins which trigger tumors to grow uncontrollably.

Asbestos exposure can cause cancer to form in different areas of the body. The chance of having an asbestos related cancer in each region varies considerably:

Pleural mesothelioma: 75%, lung and chest regions

Peritoneal mesothelioma: 25%, organs and abdominal cavity

Tunica vaginalis testis: testicles, incredibly uncommon

Mesotheliomas that were cancerous may be further categorized into three main kinds, each determined by the percentage of instances that have each kind and the particular arrangement of the cells:

Professions: Drywall Installation, Auto Mechanics, Electricians, Shipyard Workers, Chemical Plants and Various kinds of Factory Work, Power Plants, Metal Works, and even those working in School Buildings

Living near an asbestos mine or an area that has had a disaster that would disturb large amounts of asbestos, such as in New York City following 9/11 or New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina

Secondary exposure is possible if you are a family member of someone who worked in a high-risk occupation
